I've watched a lotta of Fiona Apple lately. Does that count?


I just flipped on Shrek 2 with the kids a half hour or so ago, but I don't remember there being an apple in there. ;)


I've watched as much of the World Cup as possible. It's nice to feel patriotic and get some sort of reward from the team. They finally figured out how to finish a bit. Belgium is scary though, I feel like out midfield is going to need to play well for any chance. I've really enjoyed watching Columbia...I get excited saying James Rodriguez with the accent. It makes me feel cultured. As an Arsenal fan, I just want them to buy a bunch of strikers I keep watchng.


They definitely seem more resilient than I remember the US team looking before, too. I think the game against Ghana in past tournaments there's no way they score the winning goal after losing the goal. Maybe they never come back against Portugal either.

I kind of like the World Cup Tonight show on ESPN. (Surprising that ESPN has a non-gimmicky, relaxed show. Without forced positions.) But I'm not the soccer fan you are. Is it the soccer equivalent on TNT's Inside the NBA? Or does it suck for fans like you? (Or Jelme or Hruddey). Oh & Alexi Lalas seems a little like Bill Walton at times.

Of the whole 90's female singer thing you seem to like... I'd probably be most inclined to listen to Poe or Mazzy Star. (Well really I'd go with Portishead & Garbage, but that kind of stays too far off?)

"I wanna kill you. I wanna blow you... (pause) away"
Poe - Angry Johnny: (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lrygAv93Ick)
Poe - Trigger Happy Jack: (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Z8NP0eI4Og)

Mazzy Star- Fade Into You: (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ImKY6TZEyrI)

You'll like 1 of those songs at least. (there's no way you don't like Mazzy Star)

BTW, Fiona Apple doesn't seem to be doing well these days...

The show is good but Lalas drives me nuts. He picks a stance for the sake of argument and I don't think he always believes what he is saying. I do however enjoy the co hosts either Ley or Tirico. No goofy signature catch phrases or semi witty puns. They both do a good job directing the experts down the cognitive path. Glad ESPN spared us of Kenny Mayne and Stuart Scott there.

Wow, so you do like Poe!
No on the book, but I just put it on my to read list. BTW, her brother actually did a spoken word narration on an alternate version of "Hey Pretty". (from her 2nd album). It's too bad what happened to her career:
the label sold its interest in Poe as an artist and in Poe’s future recordings, in a questionable deal to a wealthy oil executive and longtime Poe fan who bought her contract and kept Poe tied up in court, unable to release new music or perform professionally for nearly a decade

A large portion of Hey Pretty is a passage directly from the book. He's books are very inventive, but House of Leaves is the only one I like.

I think I like the "drugged out" look. I'm also a fan of a couple bands...Joydrop and TheStart! (alternatively, TheStart!'s earlier and more hardcore incarnation Human Waste Project). Other girls alternative stuff.

Not to change subjects too much, but its quite possible that there will once again be 6 Div I teams that originated from Div II.4 if River Dogs and 10 Inch can win their relagation. Also...
If Delta 9 wins /Bullish may mean back to back winners of Div I from Div II.4. Bullish also won in season 21. As for the tourney winners...
Bullish, Arizona, Arizona, KDB, KDB, KDB with only one non Div II.4 team from season 21 forward. 6 of the last 7 winners.

To top it off, Silverbacks is a current member of II.4.

II.4 has to be historically the toughest division II in USA. I wonder how this division stacks up against other division II's across the globe.

My guess is Little Rock Rimrockers will somehow land in Div II.4 next season. He has a monster team assembled for III. Just the way it is

I relegated out of II.4 my first time in division I I and relegating again. Knowing my luck, I'll end up back here in a season or two.
